Release 1.7

versionCode 8. public_html/ changed, so the service worker cache goes to
bgclock-v23.

Confirmed on device from a debug APK: the tally reads as a tally in the bar at
arm's length, and from the far side of the board.

+**Different time per player** — the switch under the Time steppers — gives each
+player their own time *and* their own delay. Turn it on and a second row appears
+under both, labelled **You** for the bottom half of the phone and **Them** for
+the far end, the same way round as the score sheet. Them starts as a copy of You;
+change either from there. Turn it back off and both players go back to whatever
+You says, so You is always the row that survives — set the shared time first and
+split it afterwards, not the other way round.
+
+The presets are gone while that switch is on. A preset is one pair of numbers and
+there are two players to give it to, so there is nothing sensible for it to mean.
+A handicap match is the point of the switch: give the stronger player less time,
+or take one player's delay down to zero and leave the other's alone.
